  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
    
  "The Virgin Suicides" by Jeffrey Eugenides is a poignant exploration of the mysterious lives of the five Lisbon sisters, who are sheltered and overprotected by their strict, religious parents. Narrated by a group of local boys, the story delves into themes of isolation, longing, and the complexities of adolescence. Set in a quiet suburban neighborhood in the 1970s, the novel captures the boys' fascination with the girls' tragic existence, exploring how a sense of mystery and incompleteness shapes their lives. Eugenides masterfully portrays the fragility of youth, the weight of secrets, and the haunting nature of unspoken grief.

  Better Never to Have Been - The...

  Most people believe that they were either benefited or at least not harmed by being brought into existence. Thus, if they ever do reflect on whether they should bring others into existence—rather than having children without even thinking about whether they should—they presume that they do them no harm. Better Never to Have Been challenges these assumptions. David Benatar argues that coming into existence is always a serious harm. Those who never exist cannot be deprived. However, by coming into existence one does suffer quite serious harms that could not have befallen one had one not come into existence. Drawing on the relevant psychological literature, the author shows that there are a number of well-documented features of human psychology that explain why people systematically overestimate the quality of their lives and why they are thus resistant to the suggestion that they were seriously harmed by being brought into existence. The author then argues for the "anti-natal" view—that it is always wrong to have children—and he shows that combining the anti-natal view with common pro-choice views about fetal moral status yield a "pro-death" view about abortion. Although counter-intuitive for many, that implication is defended, not least by showing that it solves many conundrums of moral theory about population.
